You may see a grey growth, sometimes mixed with patches of yellow or purple in less humid conditions. In humid conditions you might see a fluffy, while mycelium (fungus). Keep an eye out for rust-colored spores around the wood itself as well as a musty, damp smell.

Hometown Exterior design did a very good job for us. We had to replace L-P siding. They made it as painless as possible for that type of job. They did a great deal of precision carpentry to make the boards fit. The watertight integrity of the house was enhanced by new flashing installed.
